Field Trip Request
The SWA reimburses Horry County public schools for travel to the facility in Conway, and the trip itself is free.
What the visit includes
- A presentation about recycling in Horry County
- A guided tour of the landfill and the Materials Recycling Facility
- The composting area, where all HCS food waste goes
Before you apply
- Your school principal must endorse the application
- Schools arrange their own transportation through the bus office
- No personal vehicles are allowed on landfill property, so let parents know
- Trips are awarded first come, first served, based on funds and calendar availability
Getting reimbursed
After the trip, send the completed Field Trip Voucher Form, documentation from the bus office showing mileage, and substitute teacher costs if any. Reimbursement comes back as a check payable to the school. Everything must be in by May 30.
